The Abandoned Tulip House Down South in Virginia Left Forgotten Since the 90’s

- This stunning old house originally sat about 30 miles away on the Main Street of the nearby town. Sometime in the 1980’s the house was deconstructed and moved to the field it currently sits in now slowly crumbling away. Sadly the house has been empty for around 20-30 years now and it’s unclear whether anyone moved back in after it was moved, as the newel post seems to have never been fully put on and sat on the porch for years. Strange and sad fate for this beautiful old house built in the early 20th century around 1900. Glad to document it one last time! With the large holes in the roof above the stairs it won’t be long sadly for this old house before the roof caves in. Thank you for watching and hope you enjoy this revisit!

You are so caring and respectful of these old places. This is a beautiful house. Why would they go thru the expense of moving it just to let it rot? Makes no sense to me. Thank you Kappy.
Sadly the elderly man who went through the trouble of moving the house in the 1980’s had just about finished everything on the house when his wife passed away and then shortly after he did as well. Sad place, been sitting for a few decades. Seems too late now sadly. Thank you for watching!! :)
What a lovely house! It's too bad they did not live to enjoy it. I can imagine how nice it would have been to live in such an open area.
Didn’t they have family to
Pass it on to?
The style of the door and trim is earlier than 1900. Wish we could have seen the staircase. The locks are much earlier as well. My guess would be in the 1880's. Sometimes when realtors are lazy they automatically fill the date of construction of old homes as 1900 instead of doing the research.
It is such a pity that something that was so well built to survive this long even after being removed, will cease to exist in time… it’s homes like this that make me wish I was skilled at renovation and revival! I guarantee homes built today will never live half as long as these old homes.
💔It seems odd that someone would go to all the trouble to move it just to leave it? Sad, really. It looks like it was a beauty. Thank you, Kappy. I appreciate that you look right through the “rot” and see all the beautiful details.👍
I have seen two other houses like that moved and then no one did anything with them.
Maybe someone wanted the land the house used to be on?
@@sarahstrong7174 Yes, that is very possible. At least they didn’t tear it down…although I hate to see it sit and fall down on its own. I wish someone would move a house like that onto my property! Lol
I suppose the people who moved the house ran out of money to restore it.
It must’ve cost a fortune to have that huge house moved. And to have it sit and rot like that 😮. Love the two fireplaces in the one room, that’s a first for me. Thank you Kappy, I enjoyed the tour 👍
We live near Petersburg which has tons of these old houses. We always say if we could just move one out to the country. Not easily accomplished. Thanks for the story details in the comments. Nice to know someone tried.
It is a shame how it all ultimately ended up! Thank you for the kind words and watching always Susan!! :)
I’m in Hanover. Do you think this is in Tidewater area?
This home is beautiful. With it having been moved to this location in the 80's or 90's, the foundation is much newer and appears to be in good condition. With a good foundation, this house could still be saved...but it needs to be soon. Wish I had the funds.. I would love to tackle a restoration like this. Thank you for doing this video.
That poor house is so beyond repair. Sad to see these homes fall into disrepair.
Hey Kappy! Well I am surprised they made an effort to move that house, then let it go to ruin! I loved the layout. It was probably gorgeous in its day. Thanks for the closer look and history. Stay safe. ✌️
What a stately old home on the land. Beautiful, soft colors in the rooms and simple, elegant fireplaces. It's surprising how deteriorated the roof and thus some of the rooms and floors are. A shame.
This house appears to me to be much older then 1900, this may be a remodel date. I believe this started out as an Italianate house that they turned into a four square. Notice the brackets under the eaves, they are decidedly Italianate. The front doors and staircase parts on the porch (balusters & newel post) are older, as are the rim locks with white porcelain knobs. Locks from 1900 would have been mortised into the doors, with metal knobs. It also appears the attic dormer was added by breaking through the existing roof as seen at minute 11:04. The dormer wood even appears newer and cleaner. Someone lost their shirt with this one.
I agree with you, but why would someone add a dormer? I think it would have looked better without it.
@@annabelleb.8096 I think the reason might be that when they made the conversion, they were trying to be true to the four square style they were changing to. If you search pics of four square houses on the internet, I think you'll find that the majority have dormers.
Beautiful Kappy!!!!! I love the front door with the transom and the tile/ wallpaper was to pretty! Thanks Kappy!! You have officially started our weekend off right.
Me too! So many cool old details on this place! Much appreciated for the kind words always Melissa!! :)
So sad this place is falling into itself, it was really attractive at one time. The inside is just...tired and falling apart. I liked the plain, simple fireplaces. They suited the house. Thanks, Kappy
Really, that place has held up amazingly. The floors still look pretty strong. The attic, too.
I think so too! Incredible I could use the stairs still with the large skylight above them! Thank you for watching! :)
Our driveway to our old brick house is almost a 1/2 mile long. Never used to be. From what I've been told, when they put in the main gravel road, they made the driveway longer. While walking the fields and pulling weeds, I found a big green marble. Folks tell me it probably fell off a wagon that kids were riding back in the day. How cool is that? :)
Urban Exploring With Kappy thanks for sharing this good video i really enjoyed it about The Abandoned Tulip House Down South in Virginia Left Forgotten Since the 90’s it was a really nice house back in the day and i can't wait to see your next video my friend and God Bless.
I’m surprised it has a basement if it was moved to that field.
So sad that this beautiful, historic home has been abandoned and left to rot alone. Thank you for showing it love Kappy.
So sad to see a once lovely house in this condition. Thank you for showing.
What a shame is right. Today's homes are so boring. I would call them lifeless. This house ,as many old homes, has so much character and beauty, and yes life. It's true they don't make them like that anymore. Even though this house is near its end, it's still a treasure to my eyes.
Hey Kappy! I thought this one looked familiar...can't fool a photographic memory! It's still a pretty old house, and I still love the front porch treatment, as it's so delicate and frames the front door so well. Too bad that modern architects aren't looking to the past for inspiration.
Man, I can hardly fathom how many teams of mules or oxen we're needed to move this house! Maybe it was done later, with trucks, though.
My great grandmother's house was built and given to her by her father, as a wedding gift. Not many years later, the State of Florida decided to build a road running right through the house! My two times great grandfather was not having that, so he hired men and mules and they literally jacked the house up, placed wagons under it, hitched up mule teams and moved the house a hundred feet back from the proposed road! Nobody was gonna tear down that house!
It's still local legend how Josey Crabtree moved his daughter's house! Of course, without plumbing or wiring to worry about, it was probably easier to move that house than this one...
Anyway, thanks for the return visit! Love to you and hope that you'll take care of yourself. Give my love to Ruby!
Hi Kappy, this big old house would have been glorious in it's time, imagine moving an entire house! The times I wish I could move mine! Really love the ornate architecture around the exterior. Very cool unusual house.
I use to drive Interstate 81. I have always wanted to explore the many abandoned houses dotted along Virginia landscapes. Thank-You.
That was a Jim Dandy new cinder block basement they built for it. Why would someone go through the expense of moving this structure, fitting it onto its nice new basement, reconstruct the interior brick fireplaces, then walk away to leave it to rot like a broken dream? But broken dreams is the kind of world we live in today. It's a sad, sad world as we watch the seasons turn all around us.
Something I noticed, this place has a Smart Metre, with an underground service.
I wish you would have showed the face of the metre, we could have determined if the power was still on.
I would assume it is, most Power Company's, don't normally leave them behind, when disconnecting a service.
With this place having a Smart Metre, somebody must have been living or working on this place no more than 15 years ago, it wouldn't have been installed on an abandoned house.
The far side of the basement was open.
What a beautiful and grand old home. Such a shame to see it crumbling away.
I find it extremely hard to believe that that house was moved in the 90s. It appears to have far more than just 30 years of decay.
Some rooms looked really good while others were in a shambles. Must have been a beautiful house in it's day.
Someone paid alot of money to have that foundation replaced. Then the house went to waste because of the roof. The last room was truly the best left room. You were brave with those stairs. Probably the last time this one will be seen. Thanks Kappy
I would also like to add a huge thank you for letting us see these beautiful homes at the end of your videos.👍❤️
The architecture is really nice,you can just imagine how beautiful it was.But it looks sad and lonely all by itself,but a nice looking property.Thank you Kappy and take care 👍❤️🇺🇸
What a beautiful house and all that land
What a great tragedy that they went to all that expense to move this beautiful house and have it fall into such neglect. The house seemed to have more of the features of a late Greek Revival with a touch of steamboat gothic features thrown in than it did a 1900 American 4 square. I enjoyed seeing this very much. Thank you, Kappy!
Sadly it won't be there much longer,I pretty sure I have seen this one before but I'm going to watch again to see changes, I love looking at these old houses I'm thankful you show them before they are gone,good job
Wow! That's an OLD house! And I'll bet it looked very beautiful back "in it's day" when it was in Town. Too bad Someone didn't try to preserve it when they could have. :(
Thanks for sharing this video. So sad to see 👀 this old house falling apart 😢. I'm sure there were some happy memories made in this house 🏠.
This may have been a situation where land is needed for an expansion or new building so the city sells the house for $1 and the new owner is responsible for moving the house. Maybe the repairs got to be overwhelming and the owners abandoned it.
The bathroom with the huge window over looking the land and cast iron radiator made me want that house!
Loved this house, good find. It was a beauty in it's day. Great fireplaces.
Good job filming, as always, good info.
Much luv. Stay safe
Thank you for watching and the kind words! :)
U r my favorite explorer, & your other half Ruby. Carry on
i remember seeing your original video on this house,, i remember that Front Bathroom upstairs,, and that beautiful old tub,, probably from the late 30's early 40's, but yeah Kappy, like you said, sadly its days are numbered
I love these old places . My dream is that someone would come and bring the beauty and grandeur back 😪 Love the pictures. I can dream what used to be.
Thanks! That was loving home at one time! I wish could buy it!
Me too! Beautiful secluded spot! Great porch too! Needs a goood bit of work sadly tho! Thank you for watching!
@@urbanexploringwithkappy1773 Hi! I live in South, raised on 200 acres farm, people don’t know the love sweat, tears, go in on places like this🤗
Thank you Kappy, that's a beautiful old house.
I'm sitting here yelling don't go up there Kappy. That house is falling in on itself on that one side. Must have been a show stopper back in the day. Beautiful setting for a home.
Just a beautiful home. The rooms are huge! A lovely family home. Crying shame……..
A fantastic house, and a sad story. I wish that couple had lived to enjoy it together. It reminds me of the 1914 house l grew up in, which is still.occupied. Many farms here, old homes and wonderful barns are sadly gone now, along with groves, windbreaks, and huge trees. All bulldozed out for corporate operations. It's a shame. Thanks for another great one, Kappy! Hi, Ruby! 🌳🏠🌳
Great explore as always
Beautiful home at one time. Nice styling inside and out. I like the stairs going to the second floor. I have the same exact metal bed that is in that bedroom. It does go back into the 1930s. The cinder block foundation was probably cheaper to build than a poured cement foundation. It's fascinating to watch them move a house onto a foundation.
That bathroom sink was really cool!
The memories this poor old house must have. It's strange to know it was moved, just to be abandoned. Maybe the move was just too hard on the structure itself...Sad anyways.
Always great and lots of historical site s
I so love your videos sir, and love how you film, it is so smooth, easy on the eye.
So kind too say!! Glad you enjoy!! Thank you! :)
Excellent presentation, Kappy. 👍 Truly sad to see such wonderful homes in this state of decay, but you have captured their one time grace/elegance with the respect they deserve. Kudos! 👏
So sad that they moved it but let it rot! Not very smart. Thank you for sharing this beautiful old house with us!! Stay safe! Peace, Kim ~
The best scene for me is the view from the bathroom... is awesome. Thanks for sharing, greetings from Spain
Thanx Kappy 4 the video! I'm still trying 2 catch up on ur older videos! Very addictive! B safe out there!
Much appreciated for watching!! :)
really sad you are great bring this grand house back to life
Love the old homes like this. They had to pay to move the house. Did someone live in it after it was moved?
Sadly was never fully moved into, tragedy struck and essentially was the end of this old house! Thank you for watching!
Lovely house! Thanks again for the interesting house tour Kappy!
Much appreciated for watching! :)
@@urbanexploringwithkappy1773 of course! ☺️
If it was moved in the 80s there were several rough economic times then. They spent money on the new foundation and on moving it. Then maybe the funds ran out and they held on thinking more money would be available later or the person died before the project was completed. No one else wanted to pursue the dream or it got tied up in legal problems. Sad because someone started to fix things up. Thank you for the tour. Unfortunately looks like the end for this beautiful place
Interesting house! It's odd that they spent the money to move it and build a new foundation but never install a new roof. A lot of details in that house look 1870'ish including what I could see of the wall framing. The roof and the dormer at the front look later. I think it's an older house that was remodeled in the early 1900's.
Sadly it was going to be torn down so it was bought for a cheap price of like a dollar and then moved with good intentions but the old man passed away before fully finishing and putting back together the house from the move! Atleast that was what this man in a pickup truck told me while I was taking pictures of outside lol!
I bet you are right! Definitely felt like it was earlier then 1900!! Good eye! Thank ya for watching!! :)
So sad to see another old one on it's way from this world. There is some salvage there now. Glad you have the last photos
of it. Nice panel doors. Kappy, have you ever heard of making a :"study" from doors like the old houses had? Beautiful.
I love it..sadly all Ive ever wanted was an old 2 story house and so many are left to rot... that door is amazing... bet she was a beauty in her day....Thanks for the video!
I kind of figured someone died. Looking at all the old craftsmanship makes me want to cry for the sheer waste! Places like this are a kind of lesson. So sad!
WOW , this was such a nice house at one time
Salut,
Thank you for your time and care in presenting this old house.... it must have really been something special in it's prime! Sending cheers and blessings your way.... Take Care!
I love your videos Kappy, keep ‘em up. You are preserving a part of our past that will
Likely be gone forever. All I can say is “wow ! And Holy Cow!”
That’s how I try and look at it as well! Documenting these places of the past which won’t be around forever! Thank you for watching! :)
Must have been loved and truly valued at one time being moved would have cost a lot of dollars. Sadly it now looks out of place alone slowly striding away on its own . I bet there were many happy days in the long side room with two fire places. Thank You beverley stone UK
Thank you, Kappy. The older I get, the more I love looking at all these old beauties. Just amazing!!
Thanks for the tour
A sad ending to happy future plans for this house. Quite a lonely sight.
So strange someone would move a house...then just let this grand home rot...so sad!!!!....great insight into our country's past!!!!!
Kappy & his door knobs, LOL.. Wonder why house was moved & left to be abandoned. Did not think the upstairs & esp the attic would be shown, but Kappy took the risk, Thank you. House could be Gorgeous but sure would take the money & time.
I would love that old metal bed. So so sad it will not be saved.
The Mad Kappy strikes again. 😬 I love the woodwork on the outside. So pretty. Beautiful wallpaper in the bathroom. I really liked the way the faucets for the tub were. Certainly makes you wonder what happened after all that it took to move it. The wind swirling around made it so lonely. Thanks Mad Kap. Stay safe
Thanks Kappy! I just saw a photo of this house from 15 years ago and looked in much better shape, so it doesn't take long to get so run down once the roof starts leaking. It just seems such a waste to just leave it to deteriorate.
Heart breaking to see such a beautiful home go to waste like this one has. Why did who ever move it there? There would be no plumbing or electricity set up in the middle of a field. Makes you wonder what the plan here was....I saw from previous comments after , all wondered my same thoughts. I always enjoy your videos and wonder at just how many amazing old places end up like this one.
Yes it is
Too many too count! I have almost 400 videos of these old places and some of the videos are two for ones! Incredible in a sad way! Thanks for watching! :)
What an amazing place. A families whole life left and forgotten
Thankyou for showing us.
It would cost too much to repair
Lovely old place. Such a shame it is being left to die. I believe this style of architecture would be called “Italianite”. I used to live behind a large old home with a very similar look. I hate to say it, but moving it probably did more harm than good. I have seen this kind of thing before, where people with good intentions want to revive a grand old beauty like this, but then they run out of money and the work they did and left incomplete only contributed to the rapid decline of the structure. Probably should’ve been left where it was originally built. Great video, as always.
Love the video! I recognize several of the houses.
Sad, lonesome old house.
Such a shame. Beautiful house. 💔
There was a bedframe on the 2nd floor that if it had been full size and square instead of round would have looked like my grandmother's old bed. In fact I thought it was until I realized it was a twin and curved.
Thanks for braving that place for us kappy that would have been a beautiful ❤️ place in it's day nice find
That’s a beautiful house, Kappy. Thank You for showing it. But it sure seems strange to move a house and then abandon it again. Hmm. Makes Me suspicious. Was someone hiding something at its original location? Another mystery.
Depends on when it was moved. Could have been lived in for many years after it was moved, and then left to rot. A fire would be a purifying, cleaner end to its exstence, like cremation. No years of a long disgraceful decomposition.
Question is why did they move this old beauty? What a shame. I love these old houses. The fireplaces and staircases are really beautiful and well made. Sad.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Kappy, you always manage to find interesting old farm houses. Wish I had the luck you have finding places. 👍
Looks like it was a grand home at one time.
Kappy, you Sir are a brave man, seriously that place scared the hell out of me. I am shocked you didn't fall through the floor at some point in you exploration of that house. When you mentioned the house was in its final days you weren't kidding, man. But I gotta tell you that home had so many beautiful elements still standing amidst unstoppable decay and rot. You and I both share a love of these old places, but please be careful friend, I know you are but damn. Thanks Kappy, and by the way thank you for all the research you do into these places, it adds a special layer of insight, depth, and care into your excellent videos.
Another great video kappy
Thank you !! Much appreciated for watching! :)
Even if the structures can’t be saved they should at least save the antiques inside! (If they’re not too far gone or moldy)
Why are the owners not salvaging the lumber and that bath tub up stairs was a beauty.
Thank you.
God bless.
Our 2 story brick home where I grew up was built by the first banker of our tiny home town in the 1850's. Wish we had the $ to do repairs... some day... we are getting there! Blessed with almost 200 acres
Loving the details on the front door...beautiful!
What a beautiful old house. So glad it wasn’t spoiled with graffiti. I’m curious, the green grass around the outside of the house seemed well kept or mowed. Was that the case? It sure looked mowed. Not an overgrown mess like with many abandoned houses. Thanks for the vid! 😊
At 11:57 love the matching toilet and sink. Nice bathtub and cool to see a niche in the wall for the hand soap at the sink. Makes me wonder if there was one reachable from the tub.
There was a wall they torn down where 2 fireplaces appeared as if they were both in the same room. One would have been a formal dining room.
In spite of decay, some lovely details are still visible. Very sad.
Why on earth would anyone pay to move a house only to abandon it? Sounds to me like something went haywire towards the end of the move. Sadly, I don't think this one will be standing much longer. I'd love to have one of those mantlepieces. It truly is a shame that this house has met this end.😢
Thankyou for sharing. This is a beautiful house. Maybe they moved it for someone who wanted to live out there but then the persons health took a turn for the worse?
